How much did each of Mourinho’s clubs pay to get rid of him? Chelsea the most

Jose Mourinho is without a doubt one of the greatest managers of all time and he is also the master of negotiating huge payouts when he is dismissed.

Throughout his illustrious managerial career, Mourinho has managed over 1000 football matches and won 26 trophies in that time including eight league titles and two UEFA Champions League trophies.

The Portuguese manager will go down in history as an all-time great but he often doesn't stick with the same club for all too long.

And now, he has been sacked by Roma. His contract in Italy runs until the end of the season and so Roma probably won’t have to pay as much to sack him as some of his previous employers have.

Mourinho's first stint at Chelsea had absolutely everything. Viewed at the time as the cocky new manager on the scene, Mourinho quickly proved that the hype he brought along with him was warranted.

Chelsea won back-to-back league titles under the self-proclaimed Special One as he took England by storm. Mourinho then unexpectedly left Chelsea in his third season with the club following a slow start to the season.

Upon leaving the club the manager agreed on a compensation package of around £18million following 185 matches in charge.

After Mourinho had achieved the impossible of winning the treble with Inter Milan in 2009-10, the pull of Real Madrid was too large for Mourinho to turn down.

Mourinho might have only won three trophies during his three-year stay in Madrid, but that was largely due to the fact he was up against the greatest Barcelona side of all time.

His Real Madrid side set a record when they won the 2011-12 league title as they became the first-ever side to break 100 points in La Liga whilst also breaking the all-time scoring record with 121 goals.
